Look in a Book

Look in a Book

by Ivy O. Eastwick

 

Look
in a book
and you will see
words
and magic
and mystery.

Look
in a book
and you will find
sense
and nonsense
of every kind.

Look
in a book
and you will know
all
the things
that can help you grow.

Why read?

Reading is what can change our lives for the better.  We can become the explorers, the heroes, and the dreamers we have yet to become so that we can fight against the injustices that plague us.  Reading is not only entertainment, but a challenge that exercises our brains. Challenging our minds requires us to think and to question the pictures that books create in our minds.  The craft of writing is elegant and powerful, urging us to look within the pages of books to find the undiscovered chapters of ourselves. What would it mean to live in the pages of our books?

We look forward to hearing about your reading and all of the thoughts that can help you grow.
